Ticketmaster Massey Listings?

[BILLW]

I was just checking out Ticketmaster and they have three dates for Lightfoot at Massey in November of 2005. If you click on "find tickets" it says they do not go on sale until some day in the distant past. Anyone know anything about this and why it's all messed up ?

Oh, this is so much fun, I'll offer an answer. My guess is that Ticketmaster was "trying" to list the May, 2005 concerts but - because many tickets were sold for the November, 2002 concerts and will be honored - they obviously have to somehow connect to that data so they don't sell any of the seats that are still in the hands of fans. So, they made a try. The dates are 3 of the 4 from the November 2002 concerts; somehow they lost one. And, obviously, they haven't managed to update the dates yet ...

Thanks Val,
Any idea when the remaining tickets will go on sale?

I have no idea, sorry, but given that Ticketmaster is doing something with them (apparently), it would probably pay to keep checking there.
